1948 Frazer on ebay
« on: February 01, 2014, 01:47:27 PM »
This car looks like a twin to the one I once had -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-F485-FRAZER-MANHATTON-manhatton-1948-frazer-4-dr-model-485-/261385323251?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3cdbc782f3&item=261385323251&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

And it's a standard as the seller points out - not a "Manhatton."
It really amazes me how many bogus Frazer Manhattans show up.
Anyway, this one looks like it's pretty restorable as far as the body goes. The ad says the interior has leather but that's not true based on the pictures.  Rocker chrome trim was standard on all 1948 Frazers - the standards had thin/plain rocker chrome and the Manhattans had rocker chrome that was a bit fancier.  The rocker chrome on this one is that of a standard.
I hope someone can get it and make a nice car out of it.

The front and rear bumpers are reversed on this car.

I was watching this one but it's already gone higher than I could afford.

It looks like it sold for a pretty reasonable price. The seller claims it was drivable. I hope is gets the care it needs.
